News & Events

The Monterey Regional Stormwater Management Program (MRSWMP) invites you to provide feedback on the Draft Stormwater Resource Plan (SWRP) for the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel Bay, and South Monterey Bay Integrated Regional Water Management Planning Region.

The SWRP is a planning document that identifies public lands (i.e., streets, parks, and municipal properties) where stormwater capture projects could potentially be located to provide the most benefit. Stormwater capture projects collect, store, and treat stormwater runoff as well as dry weather flows such as excess irrigation runoff. Potential environmental and community benefits include:

· Providing water for other uses, such as irrigation,

· Recharging groundwater,

· Reducing local flooding, and

· Improving water quality in local creeks.

The Draft SWRP will be posted here for public review on June 25, 2018. A 30-day comment period will be provided.

A Public Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 27 from 5:30-7:00pm at the Colton Room, Monterey Conference Center, 1 Portola Plaza in Monterey. You can RSVP for the meeting here:
